A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
Kevin Anthony Maddock, affectionately known to his friends and family as “Dog,” passed away on June 16, 2026. Born on June 23, 1966, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kevin lived a life characterized by warmth, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to his loved ones and community.
As an Office Manager, Kevin distinguished himself through his work with elderly clients, where he developed lasting relationships and touched many lives with his genuine care and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His remarkable knack for conversation made him a cherished confidant and friend to those who knew him.
Kevin was a man of many interests. He was an avid lover of rock music, particularly the sounds of Pink Floyd and Rush, which would often fill his home. He found joy in creating 3D puzzles. Additionally, he was a published poet, with his poetry book, “Colors of Life.”
He is survived by his devoted spouse, Mardi Maddock, his dear step children, Chad Gassert, Phillip Gassert, and Ciara Holbert, as well as his beloved siblings, Paul Maddock, Pam Arnold, Patty Kinch, Peggy West, and Vicky Fields. Kevin also leaves behind three cherished grandchildren and a multitude of nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
Kevin was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Virginia Maddock.

“Kev-This one hurts, but I’m okay knowing you are no longer suffering, knowing you are in glorious place with our Lord and savior. ❤️ Kevin was not only my roommate for a time, but also one of the kindest friends I have ever known. As life often does, it carried us in different directions. Distance and time meant we didn’t keep in touch as often as either of us might have hoped, but that never diminished my gratitude for having known him. I am thankful our paths crossed and that I had the privilege of calling him my friend. My heartfelt condolences to everyone who loved Kevin, especially his wife, Mardi. Anyone who was blessed to know Kev, knew he was a genuine friend. Rest peacefully, Kevin. Forever your friend, Melissa Kosiorek Ps Happy Birthday buddy”
